Product Specifications

Designed for Wooden Beehives

The JB200 Oxalic Acid Vaporizer is best suited for wooden beehives.

The vaporizer includes heat protection around the acid tray to help minimize scorching during use.

Important: The JB200 is not recommended for Styrofoam or polystyrene beehives because the heat generated during operation may damage heat-sensitive hive materials.

Before purchasing, confirm that your beehive has a suitable entrance opening and adequate clearance for safe vaporizer placement.

Minimum Entrance Clearance: 1/2 inch (12 mm)

12V Battery-Powered Operation

The JB200 operates using a 12-volt car battery, making it suitable for use at apiaries where conventional electrical outlets may not be available.

The manufacturer describes an approximate vaporization time of 60 seconds, although actual heating time depends on the battery's condition, capacity, and operating conditions.

The manufacturer recommends performing an initial operating test outside the hive to establish the approximate heating time with your particular battery.

Always follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and keep the heated equipment away from combustible materials.

Heat-Protected Oxalic Acid Tray

The JB200 features a heating tray designed to hold the treatment material during vaporization.

A heat-protection feature helps reduce the risk of scorching nearby hive components.

As with all heated beekeeping equipment, correct positioning and safe handling are essential.

The vaporizer must be allowed to cool sufficiently before handling, moving, or storing it.

General Operating Information

The JB200 is intended for use with an appropriately authorized oxalic acid treatment product.

Before use:

1. Check Hive Compatibility: Confirm that the hive is wooden and has sufficient entrance clearance.

2. Review the Instructions: Read the JB200 operating manual and the current approved oxalic acid treatment label.

3. Prepare the Power Supply: Use a suitable 12V battery and follow all electrical safety precautions.

4. Confirm the Treatment Requirements: Follow the authorized product label for the treatment amount, colony conditions, timing, and application procedure.

5. Operate as Directed: Use the vaporizer according to the manufacturer's instructions and the approved treatment label.

6. Observe Safety Requirements: Follow all required respiratory protection, ventilation, handling, and hive-management precautions.

7. Allow Equipment to Cool: Disconnect and cool the vaporizer before handling or storing it.

Important: Oxalic acid vapour is hazardous when inhaled. Only appropriately trained users with the required protective equipment should perform vaporization treatments.

Varroa Mite Management for Honey Bee Colonies

The Varroa destructor mite is a major parasite affecting honey bee colonies.

Effective varroa management requires regular mite monitoring, timely treatment, and the use of appropriate control methods.

Oxalic acid vaporization is one treatment method used by beekeepers where authorized.

Treatment effectiveness depends on several factors, including brood conditions, correct application, and adherence to the approved treatment instructions.

Oxalic acid treatments are generally most effective when colonies have little or no capped brood.

Ideal for Beekeepers & Apiary Management

The JB200 Electric Oxalic Acid Vaporizer is useful for:

• Authorized oxalic acid varroa mite treatments.

• Wooden beehive management.

• Hobbyist and commercial apiaries.

• Beekeepers using 12V battery-powered equipment.

• Seasonal honey bee health programs.

• Varroa mite management equipment kits.

• Apiaries without convenient access to mains electricity.

Important Treatment & Safety Information

• Use only an oxalic acid treatment product authorized for vaporization in your jurisdiction.

• Follow the current approved product label for dosage, application, timing, and restrictions.

• Follow all label requirements concerning honey supers and honey harvesting.

• Use the specified respiratory protection and other personal protective equipment.

• Do not inhale oxalic acid vapours.

• Keep bystanders and animals away from the treatment area.

• Follow all electrical and battery safety precautions.

• Do not use the vaporizer in Styrofoam or other heat-sensitive hives unless expressly approved by the manufacturer.
